The part that might get mentioned in the sentence toward the end of the story. Do you know what they left out of the story? Who do you think was the largest energy behind getting rid of the wokeness? Probably the Asian-American community. It's reported that way. And I would also assume now and also I would imagine that would include a lot of recent citizens. You know recent immigrants, maybe secon…

ebody's asking me why I'm silent on Project Veritas. Is there something happening? FDA. Oh is there an FDA thing? Did it happen today or yesterday? I didn't see anything in the news today. It's two to three days old. Wow. Has social media suppressed that? Because that's the kind of content that people send to me immediately. Wow. All right. I don't want to alarm you but what are the odds that social media and the news could have kept that story from me for two days? Do you see what's happening here right? I'm about as plugged in as you could possibly be to that part of the world. You know the world that wants to doubt all that stuff. How did I not see that? Because that never came up in anything I saw. Usually if there's a Project Veritas dump I would get it. I would get like 50 of them within an hour. People would just send it to me over and over again. Wow that's blowing me away a little bit.

All right I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll go look at it. I'll go take a look at it and I'll let you know. But if you were thinking that I had some kind of intention for not talking about it that's not happening. I didn't even know what that was. Now what's the gist of it? Is the gist of it that the numbers are fake or that there's more danger or something? Is that the gist of it? The young man mandates. All right well I'll go take a look at that. But glad you brought that to my attention.

Elon Musk has new rocket engine in his rocket company there and he's going to get it below 10 million dollars per rocket. I don't know if that means per launch. Is it under 10 million per launch or under 10 million per rocket? Either way it's a small number isn't it? I mean that's a pretty big deal. So if you look at just what's happening with fusion plus what Elon Musk is doing with the economics of space travel because the new rocket is way way more efficient apparently. It's a big deal.

Meanwhile over on CNN they can't quit on Trump. So their resident hitman Stephen Collinson, he's got he does a walls are closing in kind of article about Trump every week or so for five years. The walls are closing in. I don't know if he uses that phrase but that's the essence of it. And today's story is about, so this is how Stephen Collinson, an opinion person on CNN, frames his discussion of Trump's legal woes up until now. Okay so here's how it's framed. This is his actual sentence. He goes quote, "And in all of the latest legal threats currently facing him the former president is yet to be proved guilty." Yet to be proved guilty. How about no evidence of a crime? Or how about no court has ever found him guilty of anything? What's this yet to be proven guilty stuff? Yet to be proven guilty doesn't that pretty much indicate that it's just a given that he's going to be proven guilty? Well but not yet. But he's coming. Have you killed anybody? Not yet. Are you guilty of terrible sexual offenses? Not yet. Did you cheat on your taxes? Not yet. Not yet doesn't mean no. It's amazing how much propaganda can be slipped into an opinion piece.

And then I guess CNN's just creaming itself over the fact that Ivanka and Don Jr. will testify under oath in the New York state or New York City case that has something to do with Trump and taxes and valuations. But we don't have any evidence that there's any actual crime. Li

ke none. No evidence whatsoever in the public anyway. The public has no evidence whatsoever of any crime. And it's big news that Ivanka and Don Jr. will testify. Do you know who I'm not worried about testifying? Is Ivanka and Don Jr. I don't think that that's exactly where all your smoking guns are going to be discovered. I mean there are only two possibilities. Either there's something to hide an…
